This series has so many emotional charged scenes that made me all choked up if not teary-eyed, this is just one of them, performed brilliantly by Steven and Ching Hor Wai.
Notice the change in Dor Bo's emotions from aggressiveness to suppressed emotion to releasing emotions and anger, all done superbly, and brilliantly played against Hao Chong's shock, incredulity, sadness, acceptance and rage against 2nd prince. And I felt their emotions through my computer screen.
Notice the change in Dor Bo's facial expression from fierce to hard to defiant to teary eyed as the emotional dam inside him broke.
How many identities must he discard before he finds his real self, what's real, what's sham? Most important, who is he? It is in time of adversity that the true mettle of man is tested. And obviously, Dor Bo rises above the adversity but at what cost? But for now in this moment in time scene, whatever emotional burdens struggling in side him, Dor Bo is now letting them all out.
But some ineffable emotional baggage just can't be put down or expressed in words, they can only be absorbed inside either to be buried forever or to be digested slowly in the future. Because too much unrestrained outpouring of emotions all at once can make Dor Bo insane like they did Fuk Chuen.
Notice the change in his voice from loud and harsh to a quiet, low accusative tone.
Notice the change in his eye expression from hard glare, defiant, teary and accusative.
Steven's brilliant performance was well matched by Ching Hor Wai's volleying performance. And the background music did brilliantly to intensify their scene.
